Sac/Mem/GSW and Was/GSW/LAClips Are the back-to back-to backs... easy money.

Counted 7 NBA TV games.

We will start 3-0
 
Wow, the Nba gave the Blazers an easy schedule? That's nice for a change
 
Very nice for us. 7 of 10 to get comfortable at home when we're still feeling out the new look team. Only 1 game against Orl, Mia, Boston, Chicago. Two long road trips will be tough, but overall, I like this.
 
We play 16 games before Oden makes his debut on January 23rd.
 
Teams that are not visiting Portland:
New York Knicks
Boston Celtics
Toronto Raptors
Chicago Bulls
Detroit Pistons
Indiana Pacers
Teams Portland is not visiting
Miami Heat
Orlando Magic
Charlotte Bobcats
Philadelphia 76ers
New Jersey Nets
Cleveland Cavaliers
 
The 8 day All Star break seems longer than normal. Is it ussually that long?
 
I wish that they had at least written the words "sorry for this" or something.

You are probably correct. It still would be nice for them (players/owners) to at least own up to how this came off to most fans (and employees of the teams and workers at the arenas).
 
Looking at it from a season ticket holder perspective, we had two preseason games cancelled along with 8 home games. Boston and the Lakers always sell for a premium. The Knicks should have sold well as should Chicago. Will never miss a preseason game and the other three Eastern teams would have been dogs to get rid of. Will see how much of an effect the lockout has on demand, but season ticket holders did not fare well.

Here is an interesting chart about the schedule for any numbers guys out there. If I am reading this correctly we have a pretty good schedule.

That is essentially the strength of schedule for just six games, though. If he would have taken into account the road games missed vs good opponents, that would have been nicer. (we miss out on visiting MIA, ORL, CHA, CLE, NJ, PHL, which does seem good for us).

Boo hoo! Real fans use their tickets, not sell them for profit! :devilwink:
 
Real fans wouldn't want to put up with all the Boston fans at that game... woof, what a bunch of dogs!
 
I don't know what it is about those Boston tickets, but those are the tickets that always sell the quickest and for the most money. I asked one person who bought them and he said there are Celtic fans scattered throughout the US and they are very passionate about their team.

The tough one for me is the Laker game. I almost always go, but get offered a lot for those tickets as well. Can always sell the Knicks, Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas games too, but nothing compares to the Celtics (not even Knicks) when I'm seeling the tickets. (Personally I sell tickets to try and help recover some of the cost of the entire season ticket package)

I adhere to that with my Timbers tickets since the price of the entire season is less than $400. With the Blazers, it just costs so much more with ticket prices as well as the number of games. Used 40 tickets last year with some in the Lexus Level (alot of mgb's as well), row 6 for Game 6 vs Dallas, and going to the Miami game for a total of $800. My kids appreciated me investing the saved money in their Guaranteed Education Credits and Portland International School tuition.

I did get a pair in the red this year to use every game without worry of the financial implications though.
 
FWIW- ticket rep said that there is a large number of season ticket holders who have decided not to renew this year. If anyone is interested in season tickets, this would be a good year to get in.

Don't know if that is a selling strategy they are implementing this year, but she has never told me this before.

I did not renew, so maybe it's not just a ploy and there were many others as well
